JurisAI
AI-powered court case analysis backend built with Spring Boot, legal case management, and modules for outcome prediction, strategy recommendations, and legal argument generation.
Overview
JurisAI is an AI-powered backend system for legal case analysis. It is designed to help legal professionals and researchers manage cases, analyze documents, and generate data-driven insights from historical legal information.
Problem Statement
Legal case analysis involves reviewing large volumes of documents, extracting relevant context, tracking case progress, and identifying useful patterns from historical data. JurisAI explores how these workflows can be supported by a backend system with AI-assisted modules for outcome prediction, strategy recommendation, and legal argument generation.
Features
- JWT-based authentication and authorization
- Legal case CRUD operations
- Search and filter legal cases
- Document upload and case attachments
- Case timeline tracking
- Outcome prediction
- Strategy recommendation
- Legal argument generation
- Verdict analysis and structuring
- Judge behavior profiling
Core Services
The system is composed of independently deployable services, each responsible for a single business capability.
Authentication
Handles secure login, registration, and JWT-based access control.
Case Management
Manages legal case records, timelines, attachments, and CRUD workflows.
Search & Filtering
Allows legal cases to be searched and filtered efficiently.
AI Analysis
Provides prediction, recommendation, verdict analysis, and legal argument generation capabilities.
Document Handling
Supports file uploads and case attachments for legal workflows.

Engineering Decisions
Architectural choices made to improve scalability, maintainability, reliability, and long-term evolution of the system.
AI-Assisted Legal Analysis
The system includes AI modules for outcome prediction, strategy recommendation, legal argument generation, and verdict structuring to support legal workflows.
Case-Centric Backend Design
Legal case CRUD operations, document attachments, and timeline tracking are organized around a case-management workflow rather than a generic application model.
Searchable Case Repository
Search and filtering were included so legal professionals can navigate case data more efficiently.
JWT Security
Authentication is implemented with JWT-based authorization to protect case and document access.
Challenges
